House of Cards actress Robin Wright managed to solve a centuries old problem with a simple solution. From the Associated Press:
Actress Robin Wright says she demanded the same pay as co-star Kevin Spacey for her work on "House of Cards" and got it.
Wright plays first lady Claire Underwood, an equally devious partner for Spacey's President Frank Underwood, on the Netflix series.
The Huffington Post reports Wright said during a Tuesday interview at the Rockefeller Foundation in New York that she demanded equal pay after seeing statistics showing her character was more popular than Spacey's for a period of time. She says she threatened to "go public" if she didn't get paid.I have always respected her work on the show, but now my hat is off to her as a role model for all of us. She didn't wait for the government to step in and fix pay inequality. She took the bull by the horns and fixed it herself.
In honor of this, I dedicate the following song to Robin Wright:
